Anyone else heard this?

Haven't been down to the ground for a month or so now so haven't got this info first hand.

Maybe Triseros can confirm or deny this for us.

There was something on the os a few weeks ago about standardising all of the Arkells seats.

Oh really.

Did the article say what else they are doing?

Sadly the official site isn't showing the progress that the new pitch is making; something that I follow intently every summer.

That's the Last i saw, they were due to do a photo a day, but haven't bothered for a while.

where's the webcam?
I can see the grass grow

There you go.

Popped down the yesterday and can confirm three things

the away seats are indeed now red
the grass is getting very green
The grass gets its first cut on Monday

Tell us mower.

Is there any other plans for the Ground this summer?

I know last season quiet a lot was done to Clean up and give everything a lick of paint. Just wondering if they have any more plans this summer.

I think they could do with another Bar in the Don Rodgers

They do have plans to again to tidy things up, and do the general maintenance but they are not intending to spend too much money when there is a decision being made on a new stadium

There is one, it's just never open.

Do they use it for anything? The money they can make opening it again (serving more types of drink)

Is it just me or does the paint being uused in those photo's look just a little bit pink?

I think atm its just the base layer,one of the photos i saw had pink seats but the caption was that that wasn't the final colour.

It's amazing how small the TE is eh?  I rarely go anywhere else in the ground and it always amazes me how how very tiny it is, those pics really demonstrate it.  The back row, where I frequent, is about the same height as the top of the lower tear of the DR.  Would have been nice if we'd had a stand like the home end at the Bescott or something there.

I think one of my favourite 'ends' is at Selhurst, big old stand that for a non-bowl ground.

I'm bored...

Would make a nice new song for us to the verse of 'Red Sails in the Sunset'

All together 'Red Seats in the Arkells'

That stand at the Bescott holds 6-7000 doesn't it? It's ridiculous. They only reason they've built that is because they can't develop the rest of the ground. It amazes me when you look at the old videos and the Town End looks so much bigger with all those people packed in. Ut would be great if we could have another 5-10 rows of seats in there, but the way things were last season they'd all be empty anyway!

The only reason they've built it is because it finances itself through the sponsorship deals for it as it's seen by millions of people every day. it was in effect free.
